1. Personally handing in resumes AHS

   jmcl replied to nrseam's topic in Job Hunt

   Unfortunately AHS is notoriously difficult to get in to unless you know someone/have connections somehow. I've heard that a lot of managers do not like it when you show up on the unit unannounced - a friend of mine tried this one day and left a few u...

   Hi Senzen, U of C uses letter grades to calculate GPA, so even though my university's letter-to-GPA conversion didn't match U of C's, that's what they used. An A or A+ both count as 4.0, A- as 3.7, and so on.. You can probably find it somewhere on t...

4. Bad cGPA, final year - trying to get into UCalgary's Degree Holder BN Program.

   jmcl replied to senzen5's topic in CA Programs

   U of C doesn't look at anything other than the GPA you get in your most recent 10 half credits, so your current GPA doesn't even matter. If you do end up getting a 3.8 then I'd say you have a really good chance of getting in. I've heard the cutoff ca...

   Depending on who you have for 285, there is one textbook that I never used. If the professor is still ****, then she has a textbook (pretty sure it's called "Older Adults") that she says is necessary for the course but I think I cracked that guy open...

   Honestly, the wait to find out is the worst, and it seems U of C admissions is a little disorganized when it comes to this stuff. I waited for a long time with no change on my status in the student centre, and finally decided I'd just call and see wh...

   Might not be a bad idea to contact admissions and just ask them whether they will accept your language arts course. Send them an email with the course description and maybe the syllabus if you can still get hold of that. I doubt the humanities cours...

   Hi tparno, I'm a current U of C nursing student.. I transferred into the September 2014 intake and just finished year 2 of the program in April. I know exactly how frustrating it is being in your position so feel free to ask me any questions about th...

   Hey everyone...Have people started applying yet? I need someone to tell me that I'm not going crazy - when I first opened the additional form for the application, there were multiple sections such as 'personal strengths' etc, but having opened it aga...
